What is the UNSC Resolution 1701 upon which the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire is based?

New moiré superconductor opens the door to new quantum materials
In a recent study in Nature, scientists reported that moiré materials made from semiconductor materials can also be superconducting, a property once considered to be exclusive to the graphene system, paving the way for new materials with more unusual properties.
BIG boost to India's nuclear armament.
The Indian Navy on Thursday successfully conducted a test firing of the 3,500 km-range K-4 ballistic missile from its newly inducted nuclear-powered submarine, INS Arighaat.
